A Coloured Image of the Sun

A Coloured Image of the Sun is Angela Teng’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. Since graduating from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in 2011, Teng has delved into the nature of paint as a medium, challenged its typical support – the canvas – and scrutinized the character of gesture. Using several distinct methods, Teng typically produces intimately scaled works with a handmade sensibility that brush against the status of the large canvases of twentieth-century (mostly male) abstract expressionists.

Spotlights

Neil Wedman
Spotlights

Spotlights is the culmination of work done over the summer of 2016 and the summer of 2017. Consistency is key in this series of ten: each piece is vertically oriented and measures 78 inches by 60 inches, with each composition seemingly a copy of the previous. The works are made through a process of extraction and dilution of the paint. Acrylic paint is mixed to a completely liquid consistency and poured down the surface of the canvas, causing the paint to behave in an atypical way where the individual components making up each colour separate from one another, creating subtle auras and stains as well as accidental blemishes and unanticipated inconsistencies.

Gordon Smith
Through the Trees

Equinox Gallery is pleased to present Gordon Smith: Through the Trees – an exhibition of new paintings and collaged works on canvas. This exhibition takes Gordon Smith’s imaginative and complex perspective of the forest as both subject and object where the landscape can be pulled apart and reconstructed as an idea. For 24 consecutive years, the opening of Gordon Smith’s show in September has come to denote the beginning of the cultural season in Vancouver, and this exhibition reflects Smith’s continued commitment to his artistic practice.

Marie Khouri’s exquisite new sculptures belie their dark underpinnings. The Vancouver-based artist speaks of making them in response to a recent visit to Beirut where it was impossible not to reflect on her experiences as a young woman in the 1970s fleeing the country’s civil war. She describes the Lebanese capital’s war-ravaged buildings as “wounded” and “scarred”- evoking the body in all its vulnerability in the face of war – even while she expresses admiration for the enduring city’s newly erected structures as signs of humanity’s capacity for renewal and the cyclical nature of existence.

Jack Shadbolt
The Ghost Universe

Jack Shadbolt
The Ghost Universe

Jack Shadbolt (1909 – 1998) was an influential Vancouver modernist whose experimentations with abstract painting resonated both within Canada and internationally. The body of work presented here was made in the post-war period when Shadbolt was developing his formal vocabulary as a painter. Shadbolt was one of several artists who returned to Canada after the war with a profound sense of uncertainty about the future, and whose practice looked to new imagery to express a sense of social disruption during the post-war years.
In relationship to The Ghost Universe are a selection of works by B.C. Binning, Gordon Smith, Molly Lamb Bobak, Bruno Bobak and Marion Nicoll. While stylistically diverse, these artists shared an awareness of the anxieties and uncertainties during the post-war era as well as an eagerness to explore abstraction as a means of expression.

Dempsey Bob’s distinctive masks, boxes, and sculptures are striking for their hallmarks. Smooth and seductive surfaces, voluptuousness of form, and expressive shifts in proportion are unique to his oeuvre. Ian Thom, senior curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery, remarks on Bob’s inventiveness and prowess as an artist: “The plasticity of the carving is striking: it is deep, with fluid lines, almost as if Bob had carved butter rather than wood. It would be a mistake, however, to dwell on the technical skill of the piece, because the power of this and all Bob’s work comes from the strength of his imagery.”

Floor Thoughts

In this exhibition, Al McWilliams’ forms are developed through observation and drawing with associations that drift between figuration and abstraction but are anchored in neither. The sculptures offer a narrative that is relational and open with no clear beginning or end, but rather an abundance of meeting points between form and material.
